  • The Far Side turns one and other blather

    November 3, 2009 @ 11:21 am | by Jim Carroll

    The Far Side marks 52 weeks on the air tonight with a two hour birthday special. I’ll be raiding the archives to rewind some of the boom tunes, new bands and favourite indiesyncratic sounds from a year of Far Side broadcasts. Tune in from 10pm on Phantom 105.2.

    Cork rocks: thanks to Joe, Stevie, Pat, Bootleg Mark and everyone else at the smashing Pavilion venue in Cork for a grand night out last Thursday at Bootleg’s first birthday party. Four damn fine bands played - Katie Kim, O Emperor, Slow Motion Heroes and The Impressionists - and I got to play some tunes too. Lovely hurling, boy.

    Bantertastic: thanks to Francois and Sunil Sharpe for participating in a fairly riotous and no-holds-barred Banter at the Twisted Pepper last Saturday night. “90s vs 00s” saw the two of them yakking - and boy, they can talk - about which decade produced the most thrilling sounds and nights out in the capital city. The bout went right down to the bell with audience giving it to the ’90s on points (or pints). You can relive the night on the podcast which will be live once the legal eagles have finished with it. The next Banter happens on November 28 and will be the pop-culture review of the decade. Full details to come next week.

  • The Far Side on Spotify

    July 29, 2009 @ 3:04 pm | by Jim Carroll

    Seeing as there are quite a lot of On The Record readers enjoying what Spotify has to offer and as there are no plans at present to podcast or repeat The Far Side, here’s a solution of sorts - The Far Side’s Spotify playlist.

    Please note that a lot of the music which I play on the show is NOT on Spotify. I know, yeah, Spotify has ten million tracks and Carroll still whinges. But a large bulk of the music on The Far Side is either new or as yet unreleased tracks which are not yet on Spotify, so the playlist is as much of the stuff from the show as I can find with a few other choice cuts thrown in (ie Rustie, The Clonious, Biz Markie etc).

    All comments and feedback here please.
